Well! It's been a long time since a post and much has changed. Duncan and I have broken up, and I officially am moving from Baltimore to Michigan come the beginning of September. It seems a drastic decision, but I feel like it's for the best. It's really hard for me, but I'm more motivated than ever. I want to find some work and attend college meanwhile to get a degree as a Vet Tech. I have friends, and hard as it is, I'm able to move on. It's weird still being here, but I'll be en route to Pittsburgh and then MI soon enough. I think this could really be a fresh start for me, and I'm happy to be able to meet new people and spend time with new friends.
Don't get me wrong. It kinda sucks ass. Especially after five fucking years of being with someone with the intent to marry and eventually have kids. Still, my mom helped to put things in perspective for me. It's awful right now, but it would have been even worse if I'd married him and then had this shit come up.
As it stands, I'm thinking of looking into caring for disabled animals as a specialty. Over the past months, I've been caring for a dog who was hit by a car and lost her ability to use her hind legs. At first I wondered if I would be able to do it, but I've taken a lot of joy in caring for her. She's super sweet and capable in spite of her handicap, and that's been a genuine inspiration to me. I'm looking into how I might specialize in that field as we speak. I can't type enough about how much that dog has also helped me, especially in times like these. I guess it sounds silly, but is trufax!
I've been drawing a lot lately. I'm hoping to delve deeper into my hobby and maybe make something really worthwhile. Time shall tell! Until then, I'll enjoy lots of Breaking Bad and various new shows until the move is underway!
